In seasonally frozen regions,freezing-and-thawing action is the main cause responsible for the destruction of canals,which is closely linked to the temperature
We consider the problem of year-round cooling of water-saturated soil to freezing temperatures in order to convert it into a state of permafrost.A new soil-cooling apparatus is proposed.The apparatus
The thawing-melting of the permafrost damages the subground of highways on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.With the application of ground-penetrating-radar(GPR)techno
In seasonally frozen regions,the frost-heave properties of soil play a significant role in its upper-structure performance and durability.To investigate the fro
Unconfined uniaxial compressive tests were performed to study the influence of cryostructure on frozen clays behavior,such as strain-stress,compressive strength,and failure characteristics,at temperat
